It depends on what OS and calling sequence you are interested in.  Gcc/g++
2.7.0, which is currently available has full support for PowerPC's running AIX
4.1.1.

Gcc for the System V/eabi OS/calling sequence will be available in 2.7.1 when
it is released, hopefully soon.  Note, what 2.7.0 thinks is the appropriate
calling sequence for System V/eabi is wrong (it is more AIX based except for
function pointers).  At present, the -fpic support is not in.  Cygnus is
selling support for SunOS/Sparc Solaris/AIX hosted cross compilers to eabi
starting with the 95q4 release.

Gcc for Windows NT, Solaris, and Mac are being worked on, but definately will
not make 2.7.1.
